The world's first portable player for 4K video and hi-res audio?

One company has turned to Indiegogo to raise funding for a player that offers the benefits of high-resolution audio and UHD video, yet is small enough to fit in your pocket - and it's already smashed its target.

High-resolution audio and 4K video are challenging features to fit into a portable media player. We've seen 4K phones as well as hi-res smartphones, and plenty of hi-res music players, but a dedicated portable solution combining the two features in one device has proved more elusive.

Cyberdrive (previously Forte Audio) is trying to deliver just that with its range of Seiun players, and is using crowdfunding site Indiegogo to do so.

There are three models: the standard Seiun player, the Pro, and the Pro X. The former is focused purely on high quality audio, while the latter two can output 4K video (although it's worth noting that their 5.5in screens are only capable of displaying video up to 1080p HD).
